Configuration
Back to Top
Internal Configuration - Autoclave/Sterilizers | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Bench / Cabinet | Cabinet or bench units describe small batch equipment typically mounted on an integral floor stand. Batch units are typically suited for processing small batches. | ||
Catalytic Combustion | Catalytic combustion incinerators are for incinerating gases. Catalytic combustors use a catalyst and are designed for low organic concentration wastes. | ||
Continuous (Convey, Shuttle) | In general, continuous units tend to be oriented toward automated production for large quantities of small-to-medium-sized products. The type of conveyance system used (direct-through conveyors or back-forth shuttles), depends upon the product line, volume of work to be produced, and required temperature. | ||
Top Load (Crucible, Melting) | In top loading units, the material is placed down into the heating area. A crucible may be used to convey the material and the unit will likely have a cover. | ||
Direct Flame | Direct flame incinerators operate from 1000-1500º F and are used when waste gas contains particles. | ||
Fluidized Bed | Fluidized bed incinerators contain inert granular material that expands and acts as a fluid when gases are injected up through the material bed from nozzles. This type of incinerator has operating temperatures of 1400-1800° F (750 -1000° C). They can incinerate liquid, sludge, solids, or gases. | ||
Liquid Injection | Liquid injection incinerators operate by sending wastes through a nozzle and atomizing them into small droplets to allow for the greatest possible mixing with air. They operate at temperatures between 1200-3000º F. | ||
Multiple Hearth | Multiple hearth incinerators consist of vertically-shaped hearths, and are primarily used for sewage sludge. They are operated from 1400-1800° F (750 - 1000° C). | ||
Pyrolysis / Thermal Gasification | Pyrolysis and thermal gasification are related technologies. Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of gases such as air or oxygen. The process, which requires heat, produces a mixture of combustible gases (primarily methane, complex hydrocarbons, hydrogen and carbon monoxide), liquids, and solid residues. Thermal gasification of MSW is different from pyrolysis in that the thermal decomposition takes place in the presence of a limited amount of oxygen or air. The produced gas that is generated can then be used in either boilers or cleaned up and used in combustion turbine/generators. Both of these technologies are in the development stage with a limited number of units in operation. | ||
Rotary | These types of incinerators rotate wastes in a cylindrical container enabling thorough mixing with air. They operate at temperatures from 1500-3000° F (800 - 1650° C). They can handle liquid, sludge, solid or gases in very large quantities. | ||
Box (Muffle) | Boxes are ovens in which the heating is indirect; the material to be heated is contained in a refractory container heated from the outside. | ||
Vertical Load (Bell Lift) | A vertical loading unit is a space-saving configuration where entry is gained from a platen that is either raised into the heating area or, as in a bell-lift configuration, the heating area is lowered onto a platen. | ||
Front Load (incl. Walk-in, Truck-in) | Front loading units allow side entry to the heating area for batch processing. They are often walk-in or truck-in ovens with double doors, carts, shelves, etc. Batch units are typically suited for processing larger quantities of material in a single batch. | ||
Waste Gas Flare | Waste-gas flares are used for non-hazardous waste that has high organic content. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary configuration. | ||

Heat Source / Transfer
Back to Top
Heat Source / Transfer: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Arc | An arc between graphite electrodes and metal generates heat. Both carbon and alloy steels are produced in electric arc furnaces. Scrap, rather than molten metal, is used as the base material. | ||
Combustion | Ovens and kilns using heat generated by combustion of gas, oil, biomass, waste products, or other fuels. The combusted gas may heat the material being processed directly or indirectly. | ||
Electric / Resistance | Oven heat source is powered by electricity, typically utilizing existing factory voltages. | ||
Indirect / Contact / Conduction | Walls, tubes, jackets, or discs are heated by steam, gas, thermal oil, or hot air. These heated elements transfer their heat to materials that come in contact with them via conduction. | ||
Induction | Induction is a widely used process for the surface hardening of steel. The components are heated by an alternating magnetic field to a temperature within or above the transformation range followed by immediate quenching. The core of the component remains unaffected by the treatment and its physical properties are those of the bar from which it was machined, whilst the hardness of the case can be within the range 37/58 Rc. Carbon and alloy steels with carbon content in the range 0.40-0.45% are most suitable for this process. | ||
Infrared / Radiant | Ovens or kilns use radiant heat generated by electric- or gas-fired infrared heaters. Radiant heat units are useful for processing surfaces, flat products, or web materials where clear line of sight can be provided. | ||
Natural Gas | Oven heat source is powered via natural gas. | ||
Propane | Propane, sometimes indicated as liquefied petroleum (LP), is a catchall term for propane, butane, and mixtures of the two. It also includes propylene and butylene, which are sometimes included in blends, mostly outside the United States and Canada. In North America, propane is the most likely to be available in industrial quantities. Nearly any natural gas burner will operate on propane with little or no sacrifice in performance. | ||
Oil | Oven heat source is powered by oil heaters. | ||
Other Fuel | Fuel other than natural gas, oil, or propane used in combustion units. | ||
RF / Microwave / Dielectric | In a radio frequency drying system, an RF generator creates an alternating electric field between two electrodes. The material to be processed is conveyed or placed between the electrodes where the alternating energy causes polar molecules in the material to continuously reorient themselves to face opposite poles, much like the way bar magnets behave in an alternating magnetic field. The friction resulting from molecular movement causes the material to rapidly heat throughout its entire mass. Areas in the material with greater moisture content heat up and dry faster. | ||
Steam | Oven heat source is steam, typically tapping off existing factory steam lines. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or proprietary heat source. | ||
